Marriage 1 Spouse Unknown

After Matilda Terrell Ford died, her Father William Terrel raised her son William Coleman Ford. When the boy was age 21, he was given a choice of names. He changed his name from Ford to Terrell.
Family stories state that Coleman Ford either ran off or was put in prison.
I was told that Coleman Ford was involved in a murder, that is why some of the family changed their name.

Burial: Terrell Ford Family Cemetery, DeKalb County, GA
TERRELL - FORD FAMILY CEMETERY
DEKALB CO. GA
This cemetery is behind a house near the intersection of Cloverdale Dr
and Oakfield Dr. These roads are off Flat Shoals Rd near the intersection of Flat Shoals and Bouldercrest. The cemetery is not visible from the road. When Franklin Garrett first visited this cemetery in 1931 he noted it had fallen into disuse with only field stones to mark the graves. There was and is a stone wall around some of the graves. Only two graves are visible now. Garrett noted numerous graves marked with field stones head and foot and that several slaves of the Terrell and Ford families were buried there.
The following are the names Mr Garrett was given as being some of the
people buried there:
Carlisle, Mr & Mrs
Ford, Coleman
Ford, Coleman, Mrs
Terrell, William
Thurman, Coleman
The last interments appear to have been around 1880.
